Hi, I'm Blake Robinson of Evolve Fitness. I'm a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Today, we're going to be demonstrating the transverse lunge. There's a few key points when you're doing the transverse lunge. You want to make sure that you start out, feet just right underneath your hips. The first thing you're going to do is take a big step to the side, from here your hips are going to sit back, load your weight all the way to that foot that just did the step. The main keys on this lunge is you want to make sure that your knee doesn't go out past your heel and you also want to make sure and keep your torso as upright as possible, all the weight sits down and back up. So the transverse lunge in a full motion looks like this and back up, all the way out and down and back up. Now with the transverse lunge it's something that really does isolate those glutes and your hamstrings. Make sure that while you're doing it you take a big step out and those hips sit right behind your knee. So it's a big step, my knee comes out and my hip slides right in behind that knee and presses back in. Again, I'm Blake Robinson of Evolve Fitness and that's how you do a transverse lunge.
